take dried ones and spray transparent paint then paint with bright colours and then apply varnish
Reply:Microwave, then seal with transparent spray paint...
Reply:Try setting up traps, consisting of jar caps partly filled with vinegar and a dollop of dish soap. This will trap fruit flies and may do in your pests as well.
Reply:Those leaves are useless now. Get a new batch and spray them with some nice-smelling insect-repelling scents, like citronella from herbalists or some cosmetics shops works very well, plus it makes your room smell nice too.


PS: DON"T put it on those insect-infested leaves. It'll only make the insects immune. PREVENTION is better than cure.
Reply:I like doing artsie things with plants and stuff from nature and the best way I could think of is after you have your leaves %26amp; pedals dried elaminate them and it won't grow bugs in them.
